Manual Handling Risk Assessment and Training
A manual handling risk assessment must be completed wherever manual handling activities are carried out. The UCD SIRC Office has prepared a number of general manual handling risk assessments to assist. These documents may be amended as required or a specific task risk assessment must be completed.
